The Public Theater presents the American premiere of BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES. This ambitious and poignant show, created by Gob Squad, runs through Sunday, November 29. Check out highlights below!

The complete cast of BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES features Mikai Anthony, Charlotte Beede, Rose Bell-McKinley, Eloise Celine, Meghan Chang, Margalit Duclayan, Keanu Jacobs, Simone Mindolovich, Jasper Newell, Elijah Pluchino, Maeve Press, Matthew Quirk, Miles Sherr-Garcia, and Aja Nicole Webber.

UK and Berlin-based Gob Squad's last show at The Public was an Under the Radar Festival sensation. This season, Gob Squad returns with the ambitious and poignant BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES, created over the course of the past two years with 9-14 year olds from around New York City. From behind the safety of one-way mirrors, the audience witnesses seven lives lived in fast forward, from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics. As the children peer into the future and nostalgically back at their recent past, they prepare to leave childhood behind forever. A must-see experience from this internationally acclaimed theater collective. The Belgian version of BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES was produced by CAMPO (Belgium) and premiered in 2011.

BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES features video system design by Gob Squad and Shawn Duan; and performance coaching by Bridget Kelso.
